[QUOTE="DaisyC1234, post: 750985, member: 24338"] So my enabling parents are paying for her phone and loaning here their car for who knows how long. Now we are the bad ones for having boundaries. They will grasp at any shimmer of light they see. She may be trying now, which has only been for like 3 weeks, but how long will that last, then after the baby. They probably gave her a credit card to put gas in the car also, that wouldn't surprise me one bit. Do you think she will offer to pay insurance or maybe even pay partial car payment.....no. So now my parents will be coming to bring her their car on Sunday, thank goodness I'll be out of town until that evening. I'm not even sure I want to see them anytime soon. She lived with my parents for 8 months and literally did nothing. Why didn't she take that time to seek full-time employment and get a car. My parents moved 4 hours away and she literally didn't pack her things until the absolute last day, did she think they were faking it? On that day my dad was asked me if she could stay at our home, I said no, baby could stay, but not her. If she had taken that time at my parents to really work on getting her life together that would have been a different conversation. Mind you, they moved to get away. At times I catch myself trying to reason, well, maybe this will be the time she really gets on her feet or she's not that bad. I am devastated by this turn of events. I really love my parents, but all this time they brushed me aside for my brother and now my daughter.... wow. I am the good one! I really appreciate everyone one here. Hearing all the stories and that I'm not alone unfortunately, but we all have each other and can really understand. [/QUOTE]
